Item Acute subdural effusion in vasculitis(NEUROLOGY INDIA, 2008)We report a 29-year-old man with a unique presentation of vasculitis as acute unilateral subdural effusion and meningoencephalitis. Magnetic resonance imaging showed a brainstem lesion that spread to the thalamus over time. There were no systemic features of vasculitis other than a positive pathergy test. Histopathological examination I from the pathergy site showed neutrophilic infiltrate and leucocytoclastic vasculitis. The condition was steroid responsive and he remained in remission at two years' follow-up. The anatomy of the brainstem lesion, absence of other inflammatory and infective conditions on evaluation suggests a vasculitic pathology either as primary central nervous system angiitis or as neurological presentation of systemic vasculitis like Behcet's disease although the international diagnostic criteria for Behcet's were not fulfilled.Item Hereditary spastic paraplegia with a thin corpus callosum(PEDIATRIC RADIOLOGY, 2007)We report a 15-year-old boy with autosomal recessive complicated hereditary spastic paraplegia with a thin corpus callosum (HSP-TCC). The involvement of the corpus callosum was characteristic with the genu and body predominantly affected with relative sparing of the splenium. HSP-TCC is being increasingly recognized over a wider geographical area than earlier believed. We now report a case of HSP-TCC from the Indian subcontinent.Item Periodic Lateralized Epileptiform Discharges in Fulminant Form of SSPE(CANADIAN JOURNAL OF NEUROLOGICAL SCIENCES, 2009)
